 ### General Considerations
 
-- In order to mine on P2Pool, a synced Monero node using monerod v0.18.0.0 or newer is required. If you do not currently have one configured, you can find instructions to do so [here](https://sethforprivacy.com/guides/run-a-monero-node-advanced/).
-- It is highly recommended that you create a separate restricted user account for mining. While P2Pool has been battle-tested for a long time now, any software may have unknown bugs/vulnerabilities. 
+- In order to mine on P2Pool, a synced Monero node using monerod v0.18.0.0 or newer is required. If you don't currently have one, you can download the official Monero binaries, start `monerod` on your PC and wait until it's fully synced. Advanced Monero node setup instructions are [here](https://sethforprivacy.com/guides/run-a-monero-node-advanced/).
+- It is highly recommended that you create a separate restricted user account (in your OS) for mining. While P2Pool has been battle-tested for a long time now, any software may have unknown bugs/vulnerabilities. 
 - You have to use a primary wallet address for mining. Subaddresses and integrated addresses are not supported, just like with monerod solo mining.
-- Starting from P2Pool v1.7, you can add the `--mini` parameter to your P2Pool command to connect to the **p2pool-mini** sidechain. Note that it will also change the default p2p port from 37889 to 37888.
+- You can add the `--mini` parameter to your P2Pool command to connect to the **p2pool-mini** sidechain. Note that it will also change the default p2p port from 37889 to 37888.
 - Check that ports 18080 (Monero p2p port) and 37889/37888 (P2Pool/P2Pool mini p2p port) are open in your firewall to ensure better connectivity. If you're mining from a computer behind NAT (like a router) you could consider forwarding the ports to your local machine.
 - You can connect multiple miners to the same P2Pool node. The more the better!
-- The below steps assume that you run everything on the same machine. If it's not the case, change `127.0.0.1` to appropriate IP addresses for your setup.

 - It is highly recommended to create a new mainnet wallet for P2Pool mining because **wallet addresses are public on P2Pool**.
